The largest town on Korčula island, set at the western end in a deep, sheltered bay that creates one of the most naturally beautiful harbours in Dalmatia. Vela Luka is a working town with a strong cultural identity, known for its prehistoric cave findings, the Vela Spila archaeological site, and the Ladainha music ensemble. The bay provides excellent swimming and the town has a welcoming, authentic character that has not been overtaken by mass tourism — it is connected to Split by fast catamaran.
